TEODORIN OBIANG, EQUATORIAL GUINEA VICE PRESIDENT, also the son of of oil-rich yet impoverished Equatorial Guinea’s President Teodoro Obiang, given suspended sentence and fined 30 million euros

Teodorin Obiang, the vice president of oil-rich, yet impoverished Equatorial Guinea was slapped with a 30 million euro fine and had a three-year suspended jail term upheld on Monday for fraudulently amassing wealth in France.

Obiang, 50, who is also the son of Equatorial Guinea’s President Teodoro Obiang, had appealed his original “ill-gotten gains” sentence following a trial three years ago. He received the same prison term but the Paris Criminal Court had suspended the 30-million-euro fine.

“Every time someone like Teodorin or anyone within the entourage of President Obiang can be brought to justice anywhere, it’s a good day,” says Tutu Alicante, head of EG Justice, a US-based human rights group that champions justice for Equato-Guineans. yahoo
